Riverbed and VMware Improve VM Cloud Performance

Riverbed Technology, an IT performance company, has been outlining the benefits of its continued partnership with VMware and its ability to help enterprises speed up their cloud operations.

Riverbed’s WAN optimisation tools accelerate the movement of VMs across private, public and hybrid clouds using the VMware vCloudConnector. With this combination, performance is improved and the time associated with moving VMs is reduced, as well as the costs associated with WAN infrastructure.

Riverbed and VMware solutions also allow customers to operate in multi-cloud environments with an improved offering. Their collaboration helps clients overcome bandwidth constraints, high latency and packet loss.

Tim Vogel, chief executive officer at Xtium, commented that Riverbed and VMware’s virtualisation and cloud technologies brought about “...the greatest flexibility of deployment for the best possible performance”.
